What’s in Progress?

assorted puzzle game

I have no motivation at all this week. I’m working on a 500 piece Sunsout puzzle with lots of hummingbirds and flowers in the puzzle room, but to be honest it’s too much effort to get out of bed and take a picture of it. 😐

It’s not really the fault of the image, I’m just having a bad month so far. Mom found a Titantic puzzle that I was planning to have ready for April 15 (the day it sank), but I just couldn’t find the gumption to get it started. It’s an interesting image that I will eventually assemble, it just isn’t going to happen right now.

So what are you puzzling at the moment; something wonderfully bright and interesting, something difficult and frustrating? What’s on your board right now?

New Collage In Progress

724819257904

I’m working on this fun collage this weekend! It’s slow going as sitting at the puzzle board is difficult for me at the moment; but I’m enjoying whatever time I can get, and every piece that fits with another makes me happy. 🙂

I may work on a smaller puzzle on the white board in bed, the White Mountain puzzle is too large to fit the white board. I might start working on a 300 or 500 piece to keep me occupied in my room. I’m completely addicted, but it doesn’t upset me the least little bit; puzzling keeps my brain from turning to mush!

Need Energy?

Puzzle Dust

I am draggin’ butt this morning; I am still in bed and pretty much lack the energy to do anything at all today–even jigsaw puzzles. 😱

Many people who assemble puzzles are annoyed by “puzzle dust” in the box and on their boards. Us hardcore puzzlers know that if you need energy to puzzle you snort that Puzzle PCP and you’re raring to go!!

*do NOT snort puzzle dust*

Sorting This Morning…

Sorting

I’m sorting my next puzzle at the moment, but it’s going very slowly. I got about a total of 20 minutes of sleep last night and I feel like I’m running on about six and a half brain cells. 🤨

You can see that it’s another collage, and I’m excited to start putting it together – there are dogs everywhere, they’re all books about dogs!

I hope all my friends in the PADS Posse are having a great weekend, and that you all get plenty of “me time” to put a few puzzle pieces together. ❤

Our Current Mystery…

Wedding
Vintage wooden Pastime puzzle in progress

Mom and I are currently working on another vintage puzzle, this one is much smaller but it’s beautifully cut and much easier to figure out what it is – there’s a wedding!

It’s a Pastime puzzle, like the municipal building we assembled, and the figurals are familiar looking as well. Like the first mystery, we don’t know what the finished image will be, and we don’t know if it’s complete – but that’s not really the point of putting this puzzle together. The point is enjoying the puzzle and spending time together enjoying each other’s company. 💖

It’s a little less difficult than our big puzzle, there is much more color to assist with finding pieces, but just as much color line cutting – as you can tell by the bride’s veil, we have no idea what’s behind her! We revel in the challenge of it, and every time we find a connection we feel a little better about our aging brains. 👵
